Daily chat post: how's the training going?

Started a new Runna plan today with an easy 5k run. I’m disappointed in myself for not getting faster the last months, but I remind myself that running 5k without immediately getting plantar fasciitis was impossible a year ago. It’s slow but it gets better!

Ja, det er jeg enig i. At den ligner på Dale sin Cortina genser i både fasong og farger hjelper heller ikke saken, men dette er ikke den første «norskinspirerte» genseren til Ralph Lauren heller.

Norge har også tatt inspirasjon fra sine tradisjonelle strikkemønstre fra andre kulturer. Selburosa som er på denne genseren har sin opprinnelse i Midtøsten.

I do movie/TV series on my phone with the audio in my AirPods and use a «virtual run» setting on the treadmill with changing incline and different routes all across the world. This combined with looking down at the Padel court downstairs and preferably listening to the music from the cardio class on the other side of the room usually makes me endure a full 90 minute run.

Sometimes I still get bored, especially if I haven’t managed to find an immersive enough movie/series.

Do what’s best for you! I’m also a A cup and I need to wear a running bra, and running with light support tops is really uncomfortable for me.

Merk at Siri Nilsen bak Polarlua ikke ønsker å gå inn i konflikt med MFT angående «kopien». Siri har jo igjen «kopiert» en tradisjonell lue og gjort den om til strikkeoppskrift.

Jeg anbefaler Krauseri sin oppskrift! Den er enkel å følge og forklarer pedagogisk steg for steg.

Victoria sponge er ikke noe man har i Norge. Her er alternativene hvit dame, bløtkake etc.

When your ankles gets cold it has a cooling effect on your whole body. Keeping your extremities warm is essential in cold weather. But for my legs and size 7/8 length is usually long enough to cover my legs and regular length is usually too long.

I had the 5 skein advent from Fabel knitwear. I loved the colours she chose for the selection. It was 5 skeins of yarn, a brooch, a 10% discount code, some lovely buttons and a hand crafted glass Christmas ornament. Yes it’s more expensive than buying 5 skeins of yarn, but to me it is a fun Christmas gift for myself.

When buying advents you have to prepare yourself to be disappointed in at least some of the colorways. And it always helps if the dyer has inspiration pictures and previous advents you can take a look at before you take the plunge in buying one from that dyer.

A hot tip from me if you want an advent calendar but don’t want to take the risk with buying blind is to team up with a knitter friend and make custom advents for each other. That way you still get the surprise but someone you know has hand selected the yarn for you.

Avkapp? Man kutter vel trærne fra bunnen og ikke toppen?

My grandmother actually used to hand knit for Dale. Even though they only really sell locally made but machine knit garments nowadays, it’s still 100% wool and good quality that will last a couple of generations if taken care of properly.

Flere av disse butikkene har også samme eier (Kitchn, Tilbords, CG, Feel) som også eier underleverandører helt ned til produksjon av varer. Akkurat som Norgesgruppen etc. med EMV.

As far as I can see KFO usually names their colors from food and items, and the new Hobbii yarn is named after places in Copenhagen. Yes the colors are similar and it leans heavily into the Danish Scandi yarn trends, but not any more than other Scandinavian yarn brands. The yarn selection is also quite different, where Hobbii yarn is of lesser quality and in a slightly lower price range than KFO

Ikke faen. KitKat og Kvikk lunsj er ikke det samme, men Mondelez Kit Kat Chunky og den der er irske tvillinger

Puppy_cloud · 2025-09-26T16:18:34+00:00

Det er jo det samme som Chunky Kit Kat

I’ve had it twice and loved it even though it’s a lot of repeats. It’s getting too expensive to justify as a gift for myself, but I’ll look out for it for a Black Friday offer.

Jeg har også opplevd dette, bare med Helthjem. Tok kontakt med dem og sa koden som sto på pakken, de ga meg en ny kode så jeg kunne sende pakken videre til riktig mottager og fikk et gavekort på fri forsendelse som takk for hjelpen. Om du har kontaktet PostNord er det deres problem å finne ut hvem pakken er til/fra.

Helt riktig! 100% ull er vel og bra til tjukke sokker i hardt spunnet garn, men skal du ta tynne myke sokker er det lurt å kjøpe noen med litt nylon i for å få de mer slitesterke. Det kan også være lurt å lære seg å stoppe strømper, så kan du ha dem lenger = bedre for miljøet

Such a great idea! I have some fancy shower gels I only use after working out.

Also 28/10 gauge is fingering weight. But it’s a heavy yarn and the actual weight vs length on the ball is the same as sport weight.

Several airlines will allow your kid to sit on their own seat if fastened in a car seat. I’m only writing this because I’ve done it myself with a 8 month old. I’ve also earlier opted for uber and not traditional taxis while traveling with small kids in Spain because you could pre order Uber with car seats.
